When Driving

i-ACTIV AWD

 Tires and Tire Chains

The condition of the tires plays a large 

role in the performance of the vehicle. 

Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the 

drive assembly, please note the following:

Tires



 When replacing tires, always replace all 

front and rear tires at the same time.



 All tires must be of the same size, 

manufacture, brand and tread pattern. 

Pay particular attention when equipping 

snow or other types of winter tires.



 Do not mix tread-worn tires with normal 

tires.



 Inspect tire inflation pressures at the 

specified periods adjust to the specified 

pressures, and initialize the tire pressure 

monitoring system.

  Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring 

System Initialization on page 4-154.

NOTE

Check the tire inflation pressure label 

attached to driver's door frame for the 

correct tire inflation pressure.



 Make sure to equip the vehicle with 

genuine wheels of the specified size, on 

all wheels. With AWD, the system is 

calibrated for all four wheels being of 

the same dimensions.

Tire chains



 Install tire chains to the front tires.



 Do not use tire chains on the rear 

wheels.



 Do not drive the vehicle faster than 

30 km/h (19 mph) with the tire chains 

installed.



 Do not drive the vehicle with tire chains 

on road conditions other than snow or 

ice.

 Towing

If the vehicle requires towing, have it 

towed with all four wheels completely off 

the ground.

Refer to Towing Description on page 

7-26.
